Just got this message when trying to post on a baby name thread

VelocityViewServlet : Error processing the template
Invocation of method 'isOpIsInList' in class com.mumsnet.talk.helpers.BookStylePageOfMessages threw exception class java.lang.NullPointerException : null

java.lang.NullPointerException

tech, it's been happening quite a lot recently. i usually go back and open the page again. usually does the trick.

psychomum5 · 25/03/2009 10:56

yep, I was right.

look at the poor ignored-by-MNHQ psycho

psychomum5 · 25/03/2009 10:54

I get those a lot.

I even complained posted about it a couple weeks back in site stuff, and AFAIK, was ignored

it is still happening, and too often to be caused by super-duper-amazing-new-features, as I haven't seen any amazing new features recently.......

DementedSlut · 25/03/2009 10:31

it was on mumsnet, I don't remember which thread but I was on page 2 and clicked to go to the next page

aren't there secret clues in the 'funny message'?

StealthPolarBear · 25/03/2009 10:21

I do get the java servlet messages every now
and again but the page or whatever is fine if I refresh.

BTW, can you do me a favour and take MN offline until 4? I have an assignment I HAVE to write today. Thanks.

BigTech · 25/03/2009 10:03

Where did you find that.

Not on Mumsnet I hope....

If you do find anything like this please provide us with a link to it so we can fix it ASAP.

Thanks

You know I think I am - I genuinely thought people would find that funny! Been working in an office of techies too long!

dragonbutter · 24/03/2009 18:55

GEEK!

catinthehat1 · 24/03/2009 17:33

er no no no not at all

StealthPolarBear · 24/03/2009 16:46

catinthehat, do I detect sarcasm

FelineOkay · 24/03/2009 15:53

Oh I get errors in access all the time.

"Runtime error x 345tsdafjot45trf763g0"

Um okay........................ and?

catinthehat1 · 24/03/2009 15:48

My goodness I would have had to be hospitalised PB, I find that sort of thing utterly hilarious!!!!

I mean ha, hahahaha!!!!

StealthPolarBear · 24/03/2009 13:08

A servlet is a little thing that runs on a server
NullPointerException means it is pointing to something that is null
Funniest error message I ever got was in Access - one of those little error dialog boxes popped up but it was blank!

Twims · 24/03/2009 13:01

Yes it posted the message despite it saying that - just thought I should tell you

FelineOkay · 24/03/2009 12:18

I find Java very confusing.

BigTech · 24/03/2009 12:17

Well, there was no knock on the door...

Did you manage to post. It may have been a one off where the server may have been busy or us Techs may have been implementing some amazing new features (as we are doing on a regular basis).

Let me know.

harleyd · 24/03/2009 09:31

quite disappointed at funny peculiar
and not funny haha

MayorNaze · 24/03/2009 09:30

and

NullPointerException

names of newbies?

OliviaMumsnet · 24/03/2009 09:26

LOL at this!
Will bang on the shed door and ask them what they're doing in there!

HappyChildminderBerkshire · 24/03/2009 07:20

So I repeated it out loud for ages, then got the OH to have a go. How embarrassed was I when he explained the "joke".

nickytwotimes · 23/03/2009 21:09

Pmsl at this.

Ivy I think the punchline was "java.lang.NullPointerException " but I still don't get it.
There is something wrong with me.
